We arrived at Bridgemere Garden Centre once again to have a wander around the show gardens. We were hoping for some signs of spring!
A triangular border lit up by golden daffodils welcomed us into the garden. The air here is so clean and the microclimate so damp that beautifully coloured lichen grow on any available twig.
The cottage garden is always such a calm place to begin our tour. It looks ready for the seasons to come with rhubarb being the only fruit almost ready to harvest.
As we moved on and entered the Winter Garden a most colourful combination of brunnera and Tete-a-Tete narcissi welcomed us. As expected the Winter Garden is one of the most colourful areas of the show gardens in March.
These patches of tulip foliage promise a kaleidoscope of colours on our visit next month. The well-trimmed topiary look good all year.
Colourful flowering shrubs and small trees are beginning to dominate the garden now. Next month they will be flowering even better.
When placed carefully in pairs and groups conifers can be quite interesting with their varying colours and textures.
So we enjoyed another blue sky day at Bridgemere and already we are looking forward to coming again next month.

What a season for blossom – some seems unusually short lived. Lichen though has done so well in our wet late summer/ autumn/ winter. I’ve seen whole trees covered in lichen. Must get out my magnifying glass and explore this miniature forest.
